Setting the Heading Line and Angle Markers
The heading line is an extension drawn on the map from
the bow of the boat in the direction of travel. Angle
markers indicate relative position from the heading or
course over ground, which are helpful for casting or
finding reference points.
You can show the heading line and the course over
ground (COG) line on the chart.
COG is your direction of movement. Heading is the
direction the bow of the boat is pointed, when a heading
sensor is connected.
